Abstract: A well known result in stochastic analysis reads as follows: for an mathbbR-valued super-martingale X=(Xt)0leqtleqT such that the terminal value XT is non-negative, we have that the entire process X is non-negative. An analogous result holds true in the no arbitrage theory of mathematical finance: under the assumption of no arbitrage, a portfolio process x+(HcdotS) verifying x+(HcdotS)Tgeq0 also satisfies x+(HcdotS)tgeq0, for all 0leqtleqT. In the present paper we derive an analogous result in the presence of transaction costs. A counter-example reveals that the consideration of transaction costs makes things more delicate than in the frictionless setting.
